Binding Wife System
Under the dim street lights at night, Ye Ruoliu was walking. The high heels on her feet were a bit rubbing, so she took off her shoes and held them in her hands.
Her heart was beating wildly. She looked around and found nothing unusual. Just when she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a little boy, about seven or eight years old, suddenly rushed out from the intersection, riding a bicycle and galloping towards her.
The two people were too close to each other and she had no time to dodge. She was knocked down by the sudden bicycle and her head hit the iron trash can.
The collision made her dizzy, as if she didn't know what the world was. Finally, she said to the little boy in a trembling voice, "Call 120 quickly," and then her eyes went black and she fainted.
Her consciousness returned before her eyes opened. Her eyelids seemed to be glued shut, and her body felt like a huge rock was pressing down on it, and she couldn't get free.
Her head hurt like it was hit by a hammer. During her coma, she felt like she was on a roller coaster, seeing her life. If this life were like a novel, then she would be playing the role of a vicious female villain, Li Chuanze would be the idiot bachelor, and the heroine would be Zhang Yao.
After receiving so much information, her brain was overwhelmed, as if it had frozen. However, these things were like a projector, playing back and forth in her mind.
In endless pain and struggle, she finally slowly opened her eyes.
The moment she opened her eyes, the world was dark. Then it gradually became blurry, then clear, until she could see everything clearly. The smell of disinfectant filled her nose, and only then did she fully wake up.
My throat ached like it was on fire, and there wasn't even anyone in the huge ward to pour me some water. I wanted to press the button next to my bed to ask the nurse to pour me a glass of water, but then I figured I could probably get one myself if I had the time, so I struggled to move.
She poured herself a glass of water, and only after the warm water entered her stomach did she feel a little more energetic.
My head still aches a bit, though. It's ridiculous. Being hit by a bicycle and hospitalized is really...
"Congratulations to the host for binding to the Wife System. I am your exclusive System 001." A mechanical voice sounded in her mind.
She thought it was the aftereffect of hitting her head, until the mechanical sound repeated in her mind again, she reacted.
"Well, let me introduce you," she said, swallowing slowly again.
"Huh? Wouldn't the host be surprised?" the system asked doubtfully.
"Ahhh, what are you? System? What system? So scary!" Ye Ruoliu sighed, and then said pretentiously.
She had a cold face, which gave her a sense of dry humor.
“………”
"Strange host, but it doesn't matter. You are now bound to the Wife System. As long as you conquer your husband Li Chuanze, you will receive a bonus of 100 million. Aren't you looking forward to it?" The system became more and more excited as it spoke, even more excited than her, the conqueror.
"Hmm... don't you check the target before you do a mission? Li Chuanze has given me more than 100 million yuan in the past few years." Ye Ruoliu now seriously suspected that her brain was hallucinating because of the impact. How could a system be so brainless?
"Well, if you don't bind to the Sweet Wife System, you will die immediately."
“…………I agree.”
"Okay, let me explain to you now: Host, Li Chuanze's favorability towards you is 30%. If it drops to 20%, you will be wiped out," said the system.
"And when you talk to Li Chuanze, you must call Li Chuanze husband, and end the conversation with husband."
"Whenever you encounter setbacks, difficulties, illness, etc., you must call Li Chuanze and tell him to help you."
"You have to have sex with him once a week, in a big way, you know," the system added. "If you don't complete the task, you will be punished with electric shock!"
"Every time we meet for more than 30 minutes, you must touch Li Chuanze's body for 5 minutes."
30% favorability? It was actually higher than she'd imagined. Also, was this a legitimate system? It even included 18+ content? I was kind of regretting this!
"It doesn't count this time, right?" After hearing this, Ye Ruoliu would have wanted to jump up and curse if she hadn't had an IV tube tied to her body - no, curse everyone.
"We can make an exception for the first binding system."
Haha, so embarrassing...
For her own health, Ye Ruoliu stayed in the hospital for a week to be on the safe side and underwent a full body check before being discharged. During this period, the system kept asking her to send messages to Li Chuanze.
Ye Ruoliu looked through the chat history with Li Chuanze. Every time, Li Chuanze would ask her first if she had fed the fish, and she would reply with a "hmm".
These days, Li Chuanze asked her as usual if she had fed the fish. She hadn't, but replied with "hmm" as usual.
To save trouble, she asked a friend who was more experienced in fish farming to plant some seaweed under the fish tank so that the fish would not starve to death even if she didn't feed them.
She sometimes looked through the chat history with Li Chuanze and wanted to send more messages, but after thinking about it, she didn't know what to send.
Saying she was injured and in the hospital? It seemed a bit hypocritical. Besides, the hospital she was staying in was run by a friend of Li Chuanze's. Li Chuanze couldn't have been unaware of it. He knew everything, but just didn't want to ask a single question.
It is estimated that if Li Chuanze lost his hobby of raising fish, he would completely cut off contact with her.
Saying "Control your assistant and stop her from messaging me"? Sounds a bit jealous.
Say "I miss you"? That's too corny. I'd rather kill her than say that.
Moreover, when sending messages, she always adds "husband" at the end of every sentence. She would rather become mute. How could she possibly say such corny words!
Now the progress of her and Li Chuanze's affection has stagnated, which has made the system very anxious.
After much thought, I decided to wait for Li Chuanze to come back and give her some time to adapt.
After she was discharged from the hospital, the family driver came to pick her up. She didn't like crowds and loved to clean the house when she had nothing to do, so there wasn't even a nanny at home, only a driver who lived outside and was on call at all times.
She was wearing a pale yellow floral dress, leaning against the car window with a tired look on her face. She hadn't left the hospital in the past few days, so she had asked the nurse to buy her this dress.
The driver, Uncle Zhang, is a very talkative person. Although he doesn't like to communicate with others, he especially likes to listen to others.
"The master should be back in two days. I wonder what gift he will bring for the lady this time." Uncle Zhang always spoke with a cheerful smile.
Every time she heard Uncle Zhang's voice, she couldn't help but laugh.
Uncle Zhang brought the topic back to Li Chuanze. She remembered the luxury bags and perfumes Li Chuanze brought her when he came back from Paris, France last time.
In fact, she didn't particularly like these things, which were not as good as the painting Li Chuanze gave her.
She yawned and now all she wanted was to go home quickly, take a hot bath, and then lie down comfortably in her big bed for a good sleep.
When Ye Ruoliu returned home, she looked around casually and noticed something strange.
When she went out, the fish in the fish tank were still swimming lively, but when she came back, they all floated to the surface and turned over.
What's going on?
She didn't care about anything else and kept walking around in front of the fish tank, only to find that there was no oxygen!
It was then that Ye Ruoliu remembered that there had been a power outage in the villa during her hospitalization. But she hadn't taken it seriously at all, and she hadn't expected that there would be a power outage waiting for her here!
Ye Ruoliu looked at the fish with their stomachs turned upside down and couldn't help feeling sad. How could she explain this to Li Chuanze?
[The host has encountered a problem. Please ask Li Chuanze for help within five minutes.]
At this moment, the electronic mechanical sound of the system sounded in her mind, and it was really one wave after another.
She now seriously suspected that this system was deliberately trying to trick her. Obviously, the best solution now was to quickly buy a few similar ones to fool her!
【Four minutes】
"Wait, can you slow down a bit?" Ye Ruoliu squatted on the ground with her hands on her knees, not knowing what to do. Should she really send a message to Li Chuanze? What should she tell him?
She picked up the phone, but for some reason her hands were shaking and she entered the wrong password twice in a row.
【Three minutes】
I clicked on Li Chuanze's chat interface, but I didn't know what to type. If I told him his fish was dead, would he get angry? I didn't want to see him angry...
[Two minutes]
The system's voice was like the final countdown to death, pressing closer and closer, pushing her to the edge of the cliff and leaving her at a loss.
"Can you wait?" she asked again, her mind like a ball of paste, temporarily out of control.
[One minute]
She was really afraid of being electrocuted, so she immediately started typing on the keyboard, and her pink diamond nails made a crisp sound as they hit the keyboard.
She sent a message to Li Chuanze: Are you there?
As a result, in an instant, the electric current rushed from the soles of her feet to her head, like a whip coated with chili pepper, which made her lose consciousness for a few seconds.
"Didn't I send it?" Ye Ruoliu couldn't hold it anymore. She had clearly done as she was told, so why did she still get shocked?
[Rule 1: You must add the suffix "husband" when talking to Li Chuanze. Chatting also counts as a conversation] the system explained.
The slowly burning anger was blocked by the system's words, as if a stone was pressing down on her chest. She gritted her teeth and said, "You wait!"
[You have not completed the task. The electric shock penalty duration has been increased by 5 minutes. Please complete the task as soon as possible.]
This time, Ye Ruoliu was scared of the shock. She picked up her phone and sent a message to Li Chuanze: Are you there, husband?
Li Chuanze did not reply to Ye Ruoliu's message "Are you there?" just now. Instead, he replied very quickly to "Are you there, husband?" and he said "hmm".
This made Ye Ruoliu feel troubled again. Should she really tell Li Chuanze the news of the fish's death?
【Four minutes】
The system's countdown in his mind made Ye Ruoliu tremble, as if the electric whip was about to strike again.
It was the first time she felt so uneasy. The villa, which was once warm and bright, now seemed like a place of execution where she was imprisoned.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Ye Ruoliu didn't reply to the message, Li Chuanze sent another message.
“…Guess who’s gone, me or the fish?” After she sent this message, she closed her eyes and didn’t dare to read the message.
As the phone vibrated, Ye Ruoliu slowly opened one eye, her eyelashes trembling slightly, her beautiful eyes shining brightly, the light from the phone screen reflected in her eyes, making her look very charming.
"Well, I'll be home this afternoon. Can I go with you to buy a few when I get home?" Li Chuanze replied, and also sent an emoticon of patting the head.
After reading this, she felt relieved instantly. Li Chuanze was not so unkind. Finally, this little trouble was solved.
She took a deep breath, stood up, and remembered that Li Chuanze said he would be back this afternoon, so she quickly cleaned the house with the robot vacuum cleaner. By the way, she called the restaurant that Li Chuanze often ate at and asked them to deliver a few dishes in the evening.
Anyway, it was impossible for her, a sick patient, to cook for Li Chuanze. She felt the fish turned upside down looked a bit ugly, so she flushed them down the drain.
She still hopes that Li Chuanze will not buy fish anymore after he comes back. She doesn't want to raise any fish at all.
After doing all this, she took a bath. Maybe because of her head injury, she was particularly sleepy these days. She was so sleepy after taking a bath that she fell asleep without even eating lunch.
In a trance, she seemed to dream of Li Chuanze.
She dreamed that she was standing at the airport to pick up Li Chuanze, but she saw a strange woman holding Li Chuanze's arm.
Li Chuanze hugged the woman intimately and looked at her sharply, as if he was looking at a piece of trash.
She was thrown aside like a dirty doll.
"No, no, no..." The sadness and pain buried her like a tide.
"No!" Ye Ruoliu suddenly opened her eyes and subconsciously grabbed something nearby, but ended up grabbing a warm hand. She met the man's sharp gaze. Li Chuanze's eyes seemed to be filled with a raging fire that could easily burn anyone who looked at him.
